| Possible bug |
Add a check for an empty input list to prevent index errors
Consider adding a check to ensure that the input list jobs is not empty before proceeding with the algorithm in find_max_weight. This will prevent potential index errors when accessing jobs[0].
scheduling/weighted_interval_scheduling.py [46-52]
+if not jobs:
+ return 0
jobs.sort(key=lambda ele: ele[1])
length = len(jobs)
dp = [0] * length
dp[0] = jobs[0][2] # The weight of the first job is the initial value
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9
Why: This suggestion addresses a potential bug where accessing the first element of an empty list would cause an index error. Adding a check for an empty list is crucial for preventing runtime errors and ensuring the function behaves correctly with edge cases.

Add error handling for job tuple structure to prevent unpacking errors
Add error handling for the case where the job tuples do not contain exactly three elements, which could lead to unpacking errors.
scheduling/weighted_interval_scheduling.py [47]
+if any(len(job) != 3 for job in jobs):
+ raise ValueError("Each job must be a tuple of three elements (start_time, end_time, weight)")
jobs.sort(key=lambda ele: ele[1])
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9
Why: The suggestion adds necessary error handling to ensure that each job tuple contains exactly three elements, preventing potential unpacking errors. This is important for maintaining the robustness and reliability of the function.
